2016 Winning Entries Booklet
Celebrating 23 Years of Young Design Talent 2016 Student Design Competition Winners Sponsored by Honoring Design in the Housewares Industry First Place ONLY Paint Brush $3,000 The ONLY Paint Brush is simple to clean and easy to store. Its ergonomic grip is comfortable in multiple orientations. ONLY’s bristles are cast directly into a silicone band, which fans open when the user squeezes the head, allowing water into formerly hard-to-reach areas. A built-in cap protects the brush between painting projects. Judges’ comments: n Ingenious solutions for common problems n Elegant simplicity in concept and presentation n Great visual storytelling with a logical narrative Christopher Crowley Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, senior Celebrating 23 Years of Young Design Talent In 1990 the NHMA Board of Directors established one $2,000 scholarship for a talented industrial design student and to encourage interest in the housewares industry. This scholarship expanded its scope in 1993 to become a national competition, endorsed by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), and awarded $10,000 to several winners. IHA later expanded the grants to give cash awards to the universities attended by the six top winners and to recognize students whose projects merited an Honorable Mention. Now in its 23rd year, IHA’s program is hailed as a model for other student competitions and is recognized by the design profession for its contribution to education. Nearly 5,000 college students have entered and 150 winners have launched their careers at the International Home + Housewares Show. More than 200 industry professionals have served as judges. Past winners have become entrepreneurs, educators and design managers for consumer products companies or retailers. IHA is proud of this program’s impact on the lives of young designers and its influence in building design’s importance in the housewares market. 2 2016 Student Design Competition Second Place Nomad Furniture System $2,000 Designed for people ages 18-45 who move often, the Nomad modular furniture system consists of forms that create a storage box, a desk with stool or a shelving unit.
